For the programmers out there. Now that the controversy regarding the licence of the Droid font family included in Android is over — and it’s clear that the fonts are licensed under the Apache licence — I am releasing a dotted version of the Droid Sans Mono, monospaced font that I am using for development (usually its either that or Liberation Mono nowadays). I prefer the dotted zero to a slashed zero in most monospaced fonts. More information can be found in the software page.

I used FontForge to edit the font, so — since some of the hinting instructions are not supported by this application — I’ve scraped them and used the built-in autohinter.

If you wish to use the modified font, they are — of course — also provided under the Apache licence, like the original.

As always, your comments are very welcome.
